Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface, or the presence of an object in the vicinity of the detection surface, without mechanical contact by using electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in the inner area of the mobile terminal or in proximity to the touch screen, which is covered by the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, the proximity sensor 141 can be configured to detect the proximity of the object with a change of the electric field along the proximity of the object having conductivity. In this case, the touch screen (or touch sensor) itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of explanation, the act of recognizing that the object is located on the touch screen in proximity with no object touching the touch screen is referred to as "proximity touch & The act of actually touching an object on the screen is called a "contact touch. &Quot; The position at which the object is closely touched on the touch screen means a position where the object corresponds to the touch screen vertically when the object is touched. The proximity sensor 141 can detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (e.g., a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, have. Meanwhile, the control unit 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern sensed through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further provides visual information corresponding to the processed data It can be output on the touch screen. Furthermore, the control unit 180 can control the mobile terminal 100 such that different operations or data (or information) are processed according to whether the touch to the same point on the touch screen is a proximity touch or a touch touch .

The touch sensor senses a touch (or touch input) applied to the touch screen (or the display unit 151) by using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistance film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, do.

For example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the touch screen or a capacitance generated in a specific portion to an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the time of touch, a capacitance at the time of touch, and the like where a touch object touching the touch screen is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object may be a finger, a touch pen, a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like as an object to which a touch is applied to the touch sensor.

Thus, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the control unit 180, and may be the control unit 180 itself.

On the other hand, the control unit 180 may perform different controls or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object touching the touch screen (or a touch key provided on the touch screen). Whether to perform different controls or to perform the same control according to the type of the touch object may be determined according to the current state of the mobile terminal 100 or an application program being executed.

Touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor can recognize the position information of the object to be sensed by using ultrasonic waves. Meanwhile, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generating source through the information sensed by the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the fact that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time when the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generating source can be calculated using the time difference with the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the reference signal.

The camera 121 includes at least one of a camera sensor (for example, a CCD, a CMOS, etc.), a photo sensor (or an image sensor), and a laser sensor.

The camera 121 and the laser sensor may be combined with each other to sense a touch of the sensing object with respect to the three-dimensional stereoscopic image. The photosensor can be laminated to the display element, which is adapted to scan the movement of the object to be detected proximate to the touch screen. More specifically, the photosensor mounts photo diodes and TRs (Transistors) in a row / column and scans the contents loaded on the photosensor using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor performs coordinate calculation of the object to be sensed according to the amount of change of light, and position information of the object to be sensed can be obtained through the calculation.

FIG. 2A is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a conceptual diagram illustrating a control method of FIG. 2A.

Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, an external environment is photographed by a camera 121 mounted on the main body (S210). The camera 121 may correspond to the front camera 121a or the rear camera 121b of the mobile terminal 100. [ And outputs the photographed image on the display unit 151 in real time (S220). That is, the display unit 151 outputs the preview image 501 obtained by the camera 121, and the user can confirm the image to be photographed.

When the touch icon 601 is touched, the controller 180 acquires a preview image 501 when the touch is applied and stores the preview image 501 in the memory 170. The control unit 180 may output a thumbnail icon 602 corresponding to the stored preview image 501 on the display unit 151. [ After the preview image 501 is stored, the controller 180 continuously outputs the photographed image on the display unit 151 or outputs the currently obtained preview image again by the camera 121 .

Meanwhile, the sensing unit 140 senses the movement of the main body of the mobile terminal 100 while outputting the photographed image on the display unit 151 (S230). The sensing unit 140 includes at least one of an acceleration sensor, a magnetic sensor, a G-sensor, and a gyroscope sensor to sense movement of the main body. The control unit 180 may collect the rotation information of the camera 121 using the sensing unit 140.

In addition, the sensing unit 140 may include an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to sense tilting of the main body. The inertial measurement unit senses rotation about three axes perpendicular to each other. It can be defined as a roll motion when rotated about the y axis, a pitch motion when rotated about the x axis (lateral direction), and a yaw motion when rotating about the vertical axis (z axis) have. It is possible to measure angular velocity values that rotate based on the three axes.

The display unit 151 may output a plurality of graphic images for receiving a touch input to control the function of the camera 121 while the preview image is output. For example, the display unit 151 may include a photographing icon for receiving a touch input for storing the preview image 501 in the memory 170. The control unit 180 stores the image based on the touch input applied to the photographing icon 601 (S240).

The order of steps S230 and S240 is irrelevant.

The control unit 180 forms a processed image as a continuous image output on the display unit 151 when the motion has a continuous trajectory (S250).

A virtual trajectory based on the movement of the main body can be formed when the movement path of the main body forms a relatively regular curve by the sensing unit 140 or when the movement of the main body is constant over time. The control unit 180 may form the virtual orbit based on the movement of the main body for a specific time.

Alternatively, the controller 180 can form a virtual orbit by using the inertial measurement unit of the sensing unit 140 when it is detected that the main body rotates with respect to a specific axis.

The control unit 180 controls the memory 170 to store an image obtained by the camera 121 while the main body is moving when the sensing unit 140 forms a virtual trajectory. do. For example, the controller 180 may store the images at predetermined time intervals while the main body is moving, and the time interval may be determined by the speed at which the main body moves or rotates. The controller 180 may control the memory 170 to store the image at a shorter time interval when the main body moves or rotates at a faster speed.

The control unit 180 forms the processed image using information about the plurality of images and virtual trajectories stored during the movement of the main body. The control unit 180 stores the plurality of continuous images together with the motion information related to the relative movement of the main body, lists the plurality of images based on the motion information, Can be formed. However, the step of forming the processed image is not limited thereto.

The control unit 180 may output the processed image when the photographing of the image is terminated. The first processed image 610 shown in FIG. 2B corresponds to a panoramic image. When the main body collects images while rotating on a specific axis, the panorama image includes time information related to an external environment within a rotation range with respect to the axis, and when the rotation is based on the axis, Information. In this case, both edges of the panoramic image may correspond to images of substantially the same area.

According to the present invention, the user's intention is grasped based on the movement of the main body, and the processed image is formed based on the motion information, without the user's separate control command for forming a continuous processed image.

Accordingly, since the photographing mode is changed based on the motion information and the processed image is formed, it is not necessary to separately change the photographing mode and the processed image of improved quality can be provided.

Accordingly, the control unit 180 can select the type of the processed image using the virtual trajectory.

3A and 3B are conceptual diagrams for explaining a control method for forming a processed image. The controller 180 determines the curvature using the virtual trajectory of the main body (S251). The control unit 180 extracts a virtual center point using the curvature of the virtual trajectory of the continuously moving main body (S252). The mobile terminal according to the present embodiment corresponds to the case of sensing the virtual trajectory of the main body using the inertia measurement module.

When the main body rotates with respect to a specific axis by the inertia sensing module, the controller 180 may set one point of the specific axis as a virtual center point. Or if the rotational axis which is a reference of rotation of the main body is sensed to move based on the inertial sensing module, the virtual center point can be extracted using the information about the motion of the main body.

The control unit 180 may set the point of intersection of straight lines perpendicular to one surface of the main body on which the camera is mounted as the virtual center point while the main body moves. The movement of the main body is detected until the error range of the set virtual center becomes smaller than the reference error range.

The controller 180 analyzes the virtual center point and the shooting direction (S253). The control unit 180 selects a type of an image to be formed by a plurality of images collected according to whether the virtual center is included in the photographing area based on the photographing direction. FIG. 3B illustrates an embodiment in which the external environment is photographed by the second camera 121b mounted on the rear surface of the mobile terminal.

The control unit 180 forms a panoramic image when the first central point O1 extracted based on the movement of the main body is formed outside the photographing range PA of the second camera 121b. In this case, the first center O1 is formed in a region facing the display unit 151. [ When the user performs photographing while checking the display unit 151, the first center point O1 is formed in a region where the user is located with respect to the main body, so that the virtual trajectory forms a concave curve based on the user .

If the second central point O2 extracted based on the movement of the main body is formed within the shooting range PA of the second camera 121b, the controller 180 forms the object center image (S255) . The object-centered image is composed of a plurality of images taken at various angles of the selected object. The user can receive a continuous image of the selected object through the object-oriented image. The second central point O2 is formed in an area where the selected object exists based on the main body.

Referring to FIG. 2B, the controller 180 outputs a second processed image 620 composed of an object-centered image on the display unit 151. The second processed image 620 can output one image photographed at a specific angle. However, the display unit 151 may highlight and output the selected object.

The control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 to output the transformed image 621 obtained by photographing the object in the other direction based on the touch input applied on the display unit 151 on which the second processed image 620 is output. (151). The touch input may correspond to a dragging type touch, and the shooting direction of the deformed image 621 may be determined according to the direction of the dragging touch.

The display unit 151 may continuously output a plurality of deformed images photographed in different directions when a flicking-type touch is applied. Alternatively, the control unit 180 may reproduce the object-oriented image such that the plurality of deformed images are continuously output according to the passage of time.

The control unit 180 arranges a plurality of images photographed while the main body is moved on the basis of the first and second center points O1 and O2 to form different processed images.

According to the present exemplary embodiment, a user may photograph a specific object during continuous shooting to photograph an extended external environment that exceeds the shooting region or the shooting region for forming an object-centered image of the object to form a panoramic image It is not necessary to activate the shooting mode separately. Further, since the processed image is formed by the information about the set first and second center points, there is no need to input additional control commands by the user or additional information for listing a plurality of images.

FIG. 4A is a flowchart for explaining a control method of combining the first and second processed images, and FIG. 4B is a conceptual diagram for explaining the control method of FIG. 4A.

4B, the display unit 151 displays first and second thumbnail views 603a and 603b corresponding to the first and second processed images 610 and 620 on an execution screen of an application providing a stored image, 603b.

The controller 180 executes a synthesizing function based on the touches applied to the first and second thumbnail views 603a and 603b. The display unit 151 first outputs the second processed image 620 corresponding to an object-centered image including a specific object. In step S251, the controller 180 extracts a reference image from a plurality of images constituting the object-centered image 610 based on a touch input of the user. The display unit 151 outputs one of the plurality of images based on a dragging touch input of the user and determines the reference image based on a touch for selecting an output image.

Or a reference image may be preset among a plurality of images constituting the object-oriented image. For example, the control unit 180 may set and store the first image at the time when the object-centered image 610 is first captured as a reference image. The first image may be displayed in a thumbnail view of the second processed image 610. [ A center image disposed at the very center of the second processed image 610 can be set as a reference image.

The controller 180 analyzes the object included in the reference image (S252). For example, the control unit 180 may analyze the shooting angle of the object, the placement angle between the object and other objects included in the image, the relative distance, and the like. If the reference image is a person, the information related to the person can be extracted based on the information related to the person previously stored in the memory 170.

The control unit 180 selects a composite image including the object among the images forming the first processed image 610 corresponding to the panorama image. The control unit 180 determines whether or not the object of the first processed image 610 is included in the first processed image 610 based on whether the object is included or not, the shooting angle of the captured object, A composite image matching the reference image is extracted.

The display unit 151 may output an indicator 610 'indicating the composite image selected in a state where the first processed image 610 is displayed. The controller 180 may move the indicator 610 'on the first processed image 610 based on a touch applied to the indicator 610'. In this case, the image of the area included in the indicator 610 'can be selected as a composite image. The composite image may correspond to a shout region of a plurality of images photographed at different points in time.

The control unit 180 forms a composite image 630 using the reference image and the composite image and outputs the composite image 630 on the display unit 151. [ The composite image 630 may include information of the first and second processed images 610 and 620. The composite image may be implemented as a virtual image in a head mounted display.

In order to form the composite image, the controller 180 may select only a part of the image corresponding to the object among the images of the object-centered image, and form a composite image including only the partial area.

According to the present embodiment, a virtual object image of a subject included in the panoramic image can be synthesized, but is not limited thereto. For example, the controller 180 may combine the panoramic image and the object center image photographed in different areas. In this case, the controller 180 may extract an image of the object selected from the object center images and synthesize the panorama image. In this case, the user can arbitrarily select an area in which the object image is to be output from the panorama image.

According to the present embodiment, the user can synthesize the first and second processed images photographed while moving in different virtual trajectories around the selected object. Hereinafter, a method of outputting the composite image will be described in detail.

4B and 4E are conceptual diagrams for explaining a control method for controlling a composite image.

Referring to FIG. 4A, a deformed image of the second processed image is output by touching on the display unit 151 that outputs the composite image 630. The composite image 630 includes an object image 620a displayed on one panorama image forming the panorama image.

The control unit 180 may be configured to output the first deformed object image 620b and the deformed panoramic image 631 photographed in different regions of the object based on the touch of a specific method applied on the object image 620a And controls the display unit 151. The first deformed object image 620b is formed by a first deformed image corresponding to one of a plurality of images forming the object centered image.

For example, the deformed image and the panoramic image may correspond to an image photographed in a state in which the photographing direction of the camera is parallel to a straight line connecting the first and second center points (O1, O2).

The deformed panoramic image 631 is formed by combining the composite image 630 and the first deformed object image 620b and composing the first deformed image constituting the object centered image.

Meanwhile, when an additional touch is applied to the first deformed object image 620b, the controller 180 extracts a second deformed image constituting the object centered image. The display unit 151 outputs the second transformed object image 620c based on the second transformed image.

In this case, the display unit 151 can directly output the deformed panoramic image 631, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when an image matching the second deformed image is extracted from the panoramic image, the controller 180 may combine the second deformed image and the extracted image to form another composite image.

According to this embodiment, images photographed in different directions can be synthesized in substantially the same space, and images photographed in different directions can be provided by applying a touch to the combined images.

4D, the controller 180 controls the display unit 151 to output a polygonal image 620d when a specific type of touch is applied to the object image 620a while the composite image 530 is being output, ). Here, a specific type of touch may correspond to a long touch applied to the object image 620a.

Centered image, and the polygonal image 620d includes a plurality of images photographed in different directions. The display unit 151 arranges the plurality of images in one direction so as to correspond to sequential shooting angles. The controller 180 extracts only a region where the selected object is photographed with respect to a plurality of images constituting the object-centered image to form the polygonal image 620d.

Referring to FIG. 4E, the display unit 151 outputs a first area 630 'of the composite image 630. The object image 620a is output together with the first area 630 '.

The control unit 180 outputs a second region 631 continuously photographed with the first region 630 'based on a touch applied on the display unit 151. [ The second region 631 may include a portion of the first region 631 '. The controller 180 outputs the first deformed image 620b together with the first area 631 '.

When the touch is applied in a state where the first deformed image 620b is output on the first area 631 ', the first area 631' is switched to the second area 632. [ The first transformed image 620b may be displayed on the second region 632, but is not limited thereto. The control unit 180 may change the first deformed image 620b to a third deformed image (not shown) when there is an image photographed in another direction of the object according to the touch direction.

According to the present exemplary embodiment, one area of the composite image can be sequentially provided based on the touch applied to the composite image, and an image of another area of the object can be received.

5A to 5D are conceptual diagrams for explaining a control method of forming a processed image according to another embodiment.

When the touch icon 601 is touched while the preview image 501 is being output, the sensing unit 501 may store the preview image 501 by the camera. The control unit 180 detects the movement of the main body after a touch is applied to the photographing icon 601.

When the movement of the main body forms a virtual trajectory, the controller 180 stores a plurality of images acquired by the camera 121 together with information of the virtual trajectory. That is, the controller 180 activates the continuous shooting mode for forming the panoramic image or the virtual object image when the movement of the main body forms a virtual trajectory.

The control unit 180 outputs an indicator 701 indicating the continuous shooting mode on the display unit 151. [ The output position of the indicator 701 is not limited to that shown in the figure.

The control unit 180 determines the center point by the virtual orbit and controls the display unit 151 to output the guide image based on the position of the center point and the photographing region. 3B, when the center point is not included in the photographing area, the controller 180 outputs a first guide line 710 for guiding the photographing of the panorama image. The first guide line 710 may be formed so as to be aligned with the edge of the display unit 151 in order to indicate the direction of movement of the main body or to minimize movement of the main body in the vertical direction.

The guiding line for guiding the photographing can be outputted even when the object centered image is formed by the virtual trajectory. For example, the controller may include a guide for guiding the movement of the main body about a specific object on the display unit while the function for forming the object-oriented image is performed on the captured image based on the movement of the main body Can be output.

According to the present embodiment, the user can know that the continuous shooting mode is activated without a separate control command through the indicator, and when a panoramic image is to be shot, the user can move the main body by the guide line to form a finely processed image .

The control method for canceling the continuous shooting mode using the Fig. 5B will be described. The display unit 151 outputs the indicator 601 and the first guide line 701 while the continuous shooting mode is activated. The control unit 180 maintains the continuous shooting mode when the movement of the main body moves in a virtual orbit. However, the control unit 180 may switch the continuous shooting mode to the inactive state when the movement of the main body is out of the virtual trajectory.

For example, when the body suddenly moves in another direction, when the altitude of the body suddenly changes or when the body rotates about a certain axis.

The control unit 180 cancels the continuous shooting mode and controls the display unit 151 such that the indicator 601 and the first guide line 701 disappear when movement out of the virtual trajectory is detected.

According to the present embodiment, when the user's intention to not create a panoramic image or a virtual object image is predicted by detecting the movement of the main body, the continuous shooting mode is terminated and the image obtained by the camera 121 is no longer It shall not be stored. Therefore, it is possible to accurately grasp the intention of the user and prevent the storage of the image that the user does not want.

Referring to FIG. 5C, the control unit 180 activates the continuous shooting mode based on the movement of the main body, and outputs the indicator 701 on the display unit 151. FIG. The indicator 701 is output together with the photographing icon 601.

The control unit 180 controls the display unit 151 to output the first processed image 610 based on the first touch applied to the indicator 701.
